Quake 4 screen resolution
Paul_01 Aug 4, 2023
Struggling to get Q4 to run at 1920x1080 when outputting to external monitor, I've tried changing the config to no avail, I believe there are some utilities available, but Win only?

Cheers

Are you sure that you've changed the SD output resolution? Unless you've changed it for the game through the gear icon (gear->settings->resolution) you'll only get automatically scaled output.

Did you remember to change both settings?

If overriding that manually in Quake4Config.cfg, to "unlock" that, you also have to do

seta r_mode "-1"

Then you can set any arbitrary values for custom height and width (i.e. 1080 and 1920)

I'm mentioning this because I forget this almost every time I install one of these old quake engine games again and edit those values.

Thanks Klaas, not sure how I missed that! I selected 1920x1080 (gear→Properties→General→Game Resolution) When the game was launched under in-game settings the option for 16:9 1920x1080 was available which previously wasn't there, so all good.
